Another West Coke Rookie footballer popped up in Perth this week, he was arrested for armed robbery. Said when he played for West Coke he was literally forced into using cocaine "lots were doing it" blames his time at West Coke for his drug addiction. When he tried to tell someone, or talk about it, he was told to keep his mouth shut if he wanted to continue to be on the list and play footy. Interesting our coach was his coach.

He's a family friend of mine and that is the gist of it. Cousins and Co took him under their wing and lead him down that path. It was the culture, and he was pressured into doing it. People are quick to judge and say he had a choice - but imagine being 18 and having the peer pressure of blokes that are treated like gods over there. The club knew, Worsfold knew. They actually made him a scapegoat when the shit hit the fan with the likes of Cousins, Gardiner and Kerr.

Connections at the right end of town, they can afford to buy their way out of trouble. Never failed them yet ask Dean Robinson.
They have done exactly that with West Coke and the Essendon debacle and anyone or anything else that gets in their way.
